He needs to train a newbie Ultraman, have command authority over a constantly overwhelmed and crippled space military force, deal with the fallout of all his judgment calls, Leo's and his officers', plus he's got PTSD at a level humans can't even imagine. A couple of times he looked like he wished to be out there in giant form instead of Leo.

* DependingOnTheWriter: The nature of L77 has received several contradictory accounts in multiple medias. Some say everyone on it was an Ultra, others say only Leo and Astra are due to visiting the Land of Light and being mutated by the Plasma Spark, and others say their father and maybe a couple others were for the above reason. There are also contradictory accounts of whether ''just'' the Alien Magma and his Gillas that appear in series destroyed it or if it was an entire army of them.
